The meaning of x'20' is documented at: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/F1A1D260/13.1 x'20' == 32 decimal. That is EPIPE. This corresponds to the ERROR=BROKEN PIPE in the original message. In my experience, BROKEN PIPE basically means "the far end send a RST (reset) to terminate communications". Again, in my experience, this has always been a result of the far end "hanging up the phone". Now, why did it terminate communications? Perhaps your PDF is mal-formed. I don't know if the printer you're talking to has any kind of log that you can look at or not. Or if it can "log" to a syslog server or not. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
